Shakespeare, failure, who would be Gentleman; a man, this William
Shakespeare, gone up to London to do a part in the world. In the world?
This world wherein all is gain and nothing loss, does one but make it
so; all is garnering; all is treasure; all, if so one deem it, is
pageant, poetry, and drama; the rustic, the maid, the gammer, the
tapster, the schoolboy, the master; the lubberfolk, the witch, the
fairy, the elf, the goblin; the fat woman of Brentford, the man dwelling
by the churchyard, Snelling, Sadler, Bardolph, Clowder, the old dog; the
mummer, the wait, the revel, the cates and ale, the player strutting the
stage as Herod; the sheep-shearing, the pedler, the glove; the white
rose and the red; the Princes in the tower; St. George and victory;
king, knight, soldier; the Avon sweetly flowing in its banks; the
forest; the clouds rocking across the blue; stripling; the foreign
doctor; queen, courtier, lady; love, life, death; hope, struggle,
despair; pride, ambition, failure; vision, striving, achievement;
wisdom, philosophy, contemplation; into the world where all is gain and
nothing loss, does one make it so, went William Shakespeare of
Stratford, to conquer.
